@khaytsus

I am a pilot, so for me just the 6 locales are not enough. But its a great start in developing such an app which makes use of the device's gyro. Worth the buy if you want the cockpit experience.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xchaos:
Hey I just rooted my phone today and installed CM7 succesfully, I was wondering if I could totally format my sdcard as alot of the files on there are left from apps that came installed with my phone. What folders/files should i not delete or would it be safe to just delete everything. Thanks.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicgraner:
Most is safe but you need to save bare minimum .android-secure most everything else is safe. Hope that helps
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xchaos:
What if I was to wipe data/cache format sdcard then re-install CM7. Wouldn't that work aswell?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jggimi:
That won't have any effect on your SD card. With the exception, of course, of any apps installed on the SD, which are placed in the .android_secure structure.

I don't get what you're trying to say....

I WANT to erase everything on my sdcard, and I'm wondering if I do that will CM7 get messed up.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shlongwoodian:
I can't vouch for CM7, but you can format your entire card and once mounted again, it will start "Preparing SD Card." All of the important stuff - e.g. .android_secure - will be re-created by Android.

I then just copy back any particular files I want - e.g. images, music, etc.

I don't see any reason why it'd be any different on CM7 as that's just vanilla Android + the Cyanogen tweaks. I did this many times with my G1.

As always, make a backup of the entire card first.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aria807:
I got the Nexus S and my other friends have the Galaxy S. Is it just me or is Gingerbread really bland compared to Froyo? I looked at their phones menus and settings screens, notifications, and other UI stuff and theirs are all colorful and my Nexus S is just black and white...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
All of that color is not Froyo, its TouchWiz. Gingerbread is actually quite a lot prettier and more snazzed up than Froyo, trust me. TouchWiz has a lot of pretty icons but its really a load of bloatware.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SupaDupaFly24:
Galaxy S phones have touchwiz UI that's why it looks different..
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ibleedandroid:
The nexus s comes with a "vanilla" type of android. It is a developers phone. Almost all versions of android are modifications of this system. A good example of that is HTC sense.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aria807:
Ah ok. Cuz I really like that colored icons in the Android Settings and the power widgets in the notifications. Kinda sux how gingerbread is so bare for me. Also disappointed in gingerbreads phone book and calendar. I like how theirs have tabs for grouping.

It is much nicer and more powerful than Galaxy S.

But yeah, if you want Google phone, then Nexus S is the best Google phone right now.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hutzdani:
Yeah GB has no special stuff on it its PURE android, no fancy stuff to slow it down.

lol I mean I seen screenshots of other ROMs that are more colorful, but just off the bat, I think the Gingerbread does look pretty bland unless you start flashing it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
Bland as compared to what? 2.2 and below stock? Because that was just white with black letters. That was bland.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hutzdani:
Because we know vista is bloated with fancy stuff ( comparable sence / touchwhiz)

Finally a point I can agree with you on. Besides, I've run stock Froyo, Eclair, and even Donut. They were bland and boring. Gingerbread is fast, sexy, and sleek.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0hnZ:
A more correct analogy would be stock Android is Ubuntu(latest version, in Beta) and TouchWiz is Linux Mint(previous version) running a bad filesystem.

In this case Linux Mint would come with more pre-installed codec's and a better looking UI. Also in this case there isn't as many Developers for Ubuntu, so you might not get a better looking UI or codec's unless you do it yourself.

The performance difference is minimal but noticeable. It obviously looks better and does things the new version can't and but is missing some features of the latest version of Android(NFC).

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ramis:
Hey guys

I have a lgp500 phone and i am thinking of rooting my phone, as i hate the touchscreen bug that makes the cpu go 100%, soo laggy

anyways i have a few questions that i would like to know about rooting before i attempt it.

firstly ill start by listing my phone software etc

Android version - 2.2.1

Kernal Version - 2.6.32.9

Build Number - FRG83

Software Version - V10b-DEC-13-2010

and now my questions

1. Well the most obvious question. Is it possible to root my phone?

2. My main ques - What are the chances of bricking my phone? as in to a point that would leave my phone completely useless.

3.At what steps of the rooting process can the phone be bricked?

4. How does rooting work? - basically i just want to learn about everything so i know how the system works and how kernal etc work - so that i wont do anything stupid when im rooting

for now thats all, but ill probly have a alot more once i get answers to these :P

please help

thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] uskr:
First thing before we start, YOU MUST HAVE A DEODEXED SYSTEM. If you don't know what that means, stop here.

Ok, now we can continue.

This is a quick howto and a mod on how to use Gingerbread Soft Keyboard on Atrix.

1. Download http://nma.usk.bz/atrix.php (Link fixed)

2. Decompress copy them to your phone sdcard:

adb push GBKeyboard /mnt/sdcard/GBKeyboard

3. Now open a shell on your phone:

adb shell

4. Become root:

$ su

5. Backup the original files in case something goes wrong:

# mkdir /mnt/sdcard/kb_backup
# cp /system/app/LatinIME.apk /mnt/sdcard/kb_backup
# cp /system/lib/libjni_latinime.so /mnt/sdcard/kb_backup

6. Now mount your /system as read-write:

# mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system

7. Now copy the Gingerbreak keyboard files to your system, overwriting the current ones:

# cp /mnt/sdcard/GBKeyboard/LatinIME.apk /system/app/LatinIME.apk
# cp /mnt/sdcard/GBKeyboard/libjni_latinime.so /system/lib/libjni_latinime.so

Done, you now have a Gingerbread keyboard on your Atrix. This is the stock Gingerbread keyboard right from a Nexus S ROM. It's not a themed keyboard.

There is one known issue, vibrate on key_press is not working. But that's pretty much the only issue that I found. Everything else works. Everything should be working! Let me know of any issues!

And remember: Backup your /system! If you brick your phone, don't blame me!

One last thing, to answer the questions about why you should use this one instead of the market one or other APKs. This is the stock GB keyboard tweaked for the Atrix screen resolutions. You can see the difference on the screenshots below:

On the left the Stock GB Keyboard tweaked(this one I posted) and on the right the Market/other apks:

And on landscape more: (you can see on the picture below that the market one also doesnt leave much space for the input form)

Changelog :

4/15/2011

Fixed some broken links.

v2 :

- Fixed some minor cosmetic bugs! Should look a little better overall.

- HapticFeedback is working!

- Based on the Gingerbread keyboard from stock 2.3.2
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Banditlol:
how is this different from that gingerbread keyboard on the marketplace?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sstalder:
The gingerbread keyboard in the market also works on the atrix. Does this mod have the small keys due to resolution or has it been tweaked for the atrix?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tha5150:
does this compare to Better Keyboard Gingerbread theme?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Smallsmx3:
I just downloaded the one off the market and it seems to be the exact one I had on my captivate
[Atrix 4G Android Development] uskr:
This resolution problem on this one is fixed. Doesnt look tiny.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] uskr:
This is the stock gingerbreak keyboard, taken direct from a NexusS and twaked for the Atrix. It has the exact same look and feel and functionalities as the Stock one, including the auto-complete bar above the keyboard.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ajftl:
I have the gingerbread keyboard on mine and it was a simply apk installation .....
[Atrix 4G Android Development] uskr:
Which APK did you use? When I tried to just install the stock APK from Gingerbread, I got Force Close problems, because of the lib that was incomplatible. And then even when I updated the lib, the keyboard was too small, because of the different resolution of the Atrix. So I still had to tweak the apk.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ajftl:
I would post it up when I get home ...its on my PC ...

I don't get Fc. I get the small keyboard but by choosing the stock one then back to gingerbread fix the problem. Lol. Shootme wont work here and im rooted. Wtf!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] uskr:
Would you mind to share the apk that you are using? We could be talking about different apks.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ajftl:
sure... like i said first time u choose the keyboard it displays small letters go back to imput method and select stock keyboard then select gingerbread again.. u have to do that once only .. not like u have to do that procedure often unless u go back to stock keyboard then u want gingerbread again
[Atrix 4G Android Development] KryptosXLayer2:
I don't mind the Gingerbread keyboard that I posted a link to 4 days ago, but the one from the market works awesome, especially because of the skins and the other features you just don't get from the APK - stick with the market one and pay the small fee to get even more skins if you like, I love it!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ankitb4u:
Dude I will have to save this APk the one from market doesn't vibrate this thread one does not. But this simple apk does. How ironic. Thanks.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] connexion2005:
The other keyboard will vibrate. You just have to go into the advance settings and change vibration intensity from the phone setting to your own setting.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] KryptosXLayer2:
Yeah, where were you looking? The Market one has levels of intensity - the APK just has a checkbox. Which one of those has more control?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ankitb4u:
May be I had the wrong one or I over looked it who knows.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] uskr:
I will post a screenshot later, but the stock gingerbread one adapted for the Atrix screen looks a lot better than the Market Gingerbread keyboard or that other apk posted here.

Also, the stock one I posted is tweaked to give you a little more room while on landscape mode.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] uskr:
I updated the original post with screenshots showing the differences between the stock one tweaked for the Atrix resolution and the market or other apks.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sstalder:
I got the files from your zip copied over but afterwards the only keyboard options I had was swype. Any ideas?

I am running the ADEO ROM from DG.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] uskr:
Did you update both the APK and the lib?

Run those commands:

adb shell ls -l /system/app/LatinIME.apk

adb shell ls -l /system/lib/*ime*.so

And post the result here, and I can tell you if you copied them right.

Also, if you had the other apk from the market or any other "gingerbread" keyboard installed, make sure you uninstall it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sstalder:
I have no other keyboards installed. I did have the gbkb.apk installed but removed that prior to attempting this. Here is the output:

# ls -l /system/app/LatinIME.apk
-rw-r--r-- root root 900722 2011-02-27 19:19 LatinIME.apk
# ls -l /system/lib/*ime*.so

Ok, I updated the file. There was a problem on the apk.

Just redownload and follow the original instructions again.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] sstalder:
Perfect. Worked as expected this time :)

Has there been any development with the vibrate on keypress?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] uskr:
I will try to fix that this week. I put that on hold since I didn't have much demand.

Good to hear it worked for you!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sstalder:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] shawnbuck:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] sstalder:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] shawnbuck:
And this thread has that where, exactly?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Matchless 11x:
Root-Explorer

Could you use Root Explorer to do this as well?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] shawnbuck:
You can, but you still need to mount /system as read-write with a command line.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] rjohnstone:
Worked perfectly... thanks!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] shawnbuck:
Were any changes made to landscape key height?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] uskr:

Enjoy! Let me know if you need any help! You can just follow the install procedures to update from the first version.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] uskr:
No. Only the spacing between lines. But I up'd the spacing a bit on the second version.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sstalder:
My & key actually shows up as & - What file is that modified in, or can you please fix assuming it's a bad character in place somewhere.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] uskr:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] uskr:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] franciscojavierleon:
You may want to contact designgears and see if he would put your mod in his rom.

Also, why does this need a deodexed rom? Can't this be done on stock hardware just like the mod on the market?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] uskr:
The Market one is a completely reworked apk. All the classes names are changed and it's based on a older version of the gingerbread keyboard. I wanted to stay as close to stock as possible to make upgrades easy. Which means I kept all original class names and such.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] medo18:

Nevermind, I put the Files on my external SD instead of the internal. Seems like adb sees the internal as the main sdcard. I got confused since it seems different than how the incredible works

[Atrix 4G Android Development] djkinetic:
Just a heads up for some people, after installing the Redux version of DG's deodexed rom, i was getting a Force Close on the Android Keyboard, to fix that just adb push the files again and reboot, and the FC's disappear.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] uskr:
It's because DG rom restore LatinIME.apk to the original stock one, while the lib is still the newer one from this package.

If you update your phone with DG rom, just adp push the LatinIME.apk again and should fix the FC's.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ahmarchi:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] azy8000:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] shawnbuck:
Extract the Adeo ROM, and push the original keyboard from it (LatinIME.apk) to your phone.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] uskr:
Just remember that you have to push the lib as well.
